Frequently asked questions
-
Non-QM loans use expanded home financing criteria to give borrowers income and credit flexibility. From qualifying with bank statements or 1099 income to purchasing investment properties, Non-QM loans open doors to homeownership many don’t realize are available.
-
Also known as Investor Cash Flow loans, DSCR loans are designed to help real estate investors secure financing with their rental property’s cash flow. Instead of relying on personal income, DSCR loans use the debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) to qualify.
DSCR is calculated by dividing the monthly rental income by principle, interest, property taxes, homeowners insurance and association dues.
-
Since Non-QM loans don’t follow traditional guidelines, they’re considered riskier. That’s why lenders often require a higher down payment, interest rate and other terms.
But Non-QM loans are a safe financing option that benefits many homebuyers. Talk to a CCM loan officer to learn what’s right for you.
-
Reverse mortgages allow homeowners age 62+ (or borrowers as young as 55 depending on product and state) to tap into their primary residence’s equity while continuing to live and own their home. Borrowers can receive tax-free funds as a lump sum, fixed monthly payments, a growing line of credit, or as financing toward the purchase of a new home. The loan doesn’t have to be repaid until the borrower sells, moves out, or passes away. (Equity is the difference between what you owe on your home [mortgage] and your home’s worth.)
-
With a traditional mortgage, you borrow money to buy or refinance a home and make monthly principal and interest payments to the lender. With a reverse mortgage, you borrow money based on your home equity and the value of your home (and other factors) and receive the funds directly, but monthly mortgage payments are optional. You are still responsible for property taxes, homeowners insurance, and home maintenance while you live in the home.
-
Reverse mortgages aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution and there’s a lot of misinformation about these loans, so meeting with an experienced reverse mortgage loan originator is a good first step. Many homeowners use reverse mortgages as a strategic tool to supplement retirement income, consolidate debt, fund home repairs, or cover medical expenses to improve their financial security in retirement.
I’d love to hear from you.
